kiwi808 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 This is awesome. Although, technically you did break the rules… (of buying something from the constant collection of shit British shit cars for sale I want to buy but won’t) 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I have seen photos. Maybe it was all a lovely dream 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmulally Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 @Bearded Baldy remember that impco LPG carb I stole off you? It would take the smallest tickle with a drill to bolt on without even using an adapter. Would also need a bit of love from a dremel to match the intake port to the carb. It's an Impco ca125 for anybody who knows anything about them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Cost too much now, a nice cheap LS is what you want for rock auto parts https://www.nztrucking.co.nz/cool-things-morris-is-that-you/ 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vague memory recalls it may have come off a datto powered forklift. Or that might be some other weird bit of gear i have. The 125 units are good for around 100hp max, so should be fine on a rover haha. That 300a mixer on the snorkel would be my pick though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igor Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Four litre petrol straight six does equal Barra though. Doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Somewhere in my old stack of Practical Classics there's a story on a bloke with a private junkyard who build a TS3-powered vintage special on a truck or bus chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmulally Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I'd love a TS3 in my chev C20. I did briefly think about putting in a 353t detroit until I saw how big one actually was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
